The Change Begins

The night temperatures are dropping and the leaves are falling, it is time to start bringing in all the tender plants in to the greenhouse for their protection over the winter. Ali starts with emptying the pots in the Linbury Building and the urns by the herbaceous border, keeping some as new stock plants and the rest go to the compost pile.

Down at No 17, Joe scatters an autumn feed over the newly levelled soil, followed by grass seed which he then lightly rakes into the soil, grass within two weeks apparently.
